- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: honey, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper.
- Select a medium-sized mixing bowl that allows enough room for whisking the ingredients together.
- Pour the honey into the bowl first, ensuring you scrape all of it from the measuring cup using a flexible spatula.
- Add the Dijon mustard to the honey, creating a smooth base for the dressing.
- Measure and add the rice vinegar, which will help balance the sweetness and provide a tangy flavor profile.
- Slowly drizzle the vegetable oil into the mixture while continuously whisking to create a smooth, emulsified dressing.
- Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the overall taste.
- Whisk all ingredients thoroughly until the dressing is completely combined and has a consistent, glossy appearance.
- Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to suit your preference.
- Transfer the dressing to a clean glass jar or airtight container for storage.
- Refrigerate the dressing for up to one week, shaking well before each use to re-emulsify the ingredients.
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better your honey, mustard, and vinegar, the more delicious your dressing will be.
- Whisk thoroughly: Take your time emulsifying the ingredients to ensure a smooth, consistent texture.
- Temperature matters: Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and better flavor blending.
- Customize to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the sweetness or tanginess by slightly modifying honey or vinegar quantities.
- Storage hack: Store in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and give it a good shake before each use to re-incorporate the ingredients.
- Versatility tip: This dressing isn't just for salads – try it as a marinade for chicken, a dipping sauce for spring rolls, or a glaze for roasted vegetables.
